fish taco recipes

Grilling is a good way of cooking small whole fish or fillets. If you are using whole fish, slash the skin on both sides a few times and brush with melted butter or olive oil. Baste the fish during cooking and turn it halfway through. You might like to wrap the fish in foil with olive oil, herbs, and lemon juice before placing it on the grill.

Remember these easy tips with buying and cooking fish:

* Marinades are a good way to add flavor and moisture to the fish before cooking.

* For moister broiled fish, first steam or poach the fish until close to being done and then brown it under the broiler.

* To steam fish, put it in a steamer over boiling water and make sure you use a tight fitting lid.

* The fish is done cooking when it is opaque, and begins to flake.

* It is best to grill, broil, steam or poach oily fish so that their natural fats can drain while they are cooked.
